Bonjour et bienvienue! I am so excited to be joining Shepton as the Language Department's French teacher for the 2019-2020 school year! 

My love for the French language started at a young age when I attempted to teach myself the language at the ripe old age of 8 (unsuccessfully, mind you). As soon as I was able to take courses in high school, my love of the language intensified even further, to the point that I convinced my parents to allow me to study abroad in France for a semester my senior year. Upon graduation, I continued my education at the Honors College at A&M Texas University at Commerce, where I again had the opportunity to study abroad in France during one month in Paris. I received my B.A. in 2015 and am currently pursuing my M.A. at the University of North Texas.

Outside of the classroom, I can be found spending time with my husband, Jordan, and our three dogs, Archer, Lana, and Lucy, and our cat. I love cooking, live music, hot yoga, being outdoors, hosting events for our friends, and a good Netflix binge.

I am so thrilled to meet all of my students and share my love of the language with you. I hope to inspire a love of learning other cultures through a new language and show you what the world has to offer when you reach for your wildest dreams!
